Rabbi Chaim Shlomo Leibowitz, rosh yeshiva (director) of the Ponovezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak was admitted to the intensive care unit at Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Wednesday morning.
The renowned rabbi sustained a head injury after falling at night at his home in Bnei Brak.
Hundreds gathered at the yeshiva to pray for their revered rabbi, as experts consulted at the hospital to determine whether or not surgery was necessary.
It was ultimately decided that no surgery was required and the injuries were not life-threatening, according to sources within the yeshiva.
Continued prayers are requested for Rav Chaim Shlomo ben Tzaitel Leah.
